2025-2026 UEFA Champions League Kit Brands
Adidas clearly dominates the 25-26 Champions League League Phase in terms of numbers, supplying 12 teams in total. Nike follows with 8 clubs, but the American giant boasts some of the most high-profile names in world football, such as Barcelona, Chelsea, and reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain. Puma completes the “big three” with 7 teams - in total, 75% of the teams wear one of the big three brands.
Away from the major brands, 25% of the Champions League field will be wearing kits from smaller names. Castore equips three clubs, while New Balance and Joma both appear twice. Japanese brand Mizuno and Italian label EA7 Emporio Armani will each be represented by a single team, keeping at least a bit of diversity alive in the world’s biggest club competition.
